June 2, 201214 yr I was doing a flight last night EGKK to EGGB One of the first things I do is set the aircraft to cold and dark, and then set the percentage of the fuel in the 'Menu' page. Last night I thought I would try 40% on the NGX700 aircraft. Later on however, when I was setting the take off bug speeds in the CDU page (right clicking in scratch pad), I noticed that the speeds were very high. Higher than expected for the fuel I was using. I thought I would check the fuel amount again in the Menu page of the CDU. And as suspected the fuel was 99% full. I'm sure this has happened more than once. I am pretty sure now that I haven't forgotten to set the fuel. Is there some sort of reason why this is happening? On a short runway this kind of thing can ruin your day.

June 2, 201214 yr You weren't by any chance parked near the fuel box were you? Or drove past it? That certainly auto-fills other aircraft but I've no idea if it does the NGX. I just avoid it anyway just in case. Bill Casey

I just avoid it anyway just in case. I am just parked at the gate at gatwick. I use UK2000 scenery at EGKK. It has happened at different stands. J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s

June 2, 201214 yr Set the panel state before editing fuel, if I remember correctly... Oliver P Yes, if you load the pmdg panel states, the fuel will be at 100%. Alfredo Terrero
June 2, 201214 yr Author you havnt set in the fsx to unlimited fuel have you? This option is off. It may well be the order in which I turn to Cold and Dark. I will look into this the next time I load up. thank you J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s
June 2, 201214 yr Where you have your FSX installed? Do not install it to Program Files or Program Files(x86). And run it as administrator. You sure about that? Mine is sat in Program Files(x86) and I haven't had a problem with it. Thanks Matthew T Gardiner
